So boys about two weeks ago my passenger side calliper started to seize while i was on the 401, and i was able to repair it and get a new one before my rotor was totally destroyed.
But damage as been done, that rotor has been warped a bit due to the extensive heat during the time the calliper seized.

Now i have a 95 Civic, so i decided to replace all my rotors.. heres the thing.. i did a Gsr conversion from drum to disc on my civic.

So if i was to replace the rotors on all 4, would i have to get one pair for a 95 civic for the fronts, and one pair of gsr rotors for the rear? or can i just get all 4 for the civic and it will fit?..

& one brand im considering are Power Slot rotors, that are Slotted & Cadmium plated.

What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance!

What about EBC brakes?
anyone heard anything promising about them??

Get civic front rotors and GSR or 99/00 civic SiR rear rotors (they are the same).

I would advise against drilled and or slotted rotors. The lack surface area and material makes them prone to warping as well since they can heat up faster. Grooved rotors are better for street applications as they allow the gasses and dust produced by the pads during braking to be vented and the extra material (compared to drilled/slotted rotors) means it takes longer to heat them up.

I suggest ATe premium one grooved rotors. I have them on all four corners of my civic and I'm very impressed with their quality/performance. Their manufacturing process involves heat cycling them first so that they warp before machining. This ensures it won't warp when it gets hot during use.

i was just told to get 99 SIR all around and it would be the same?

yeah i dislike the drilled, really the slotted can heat up faster eh. hmm.

where did you get your ATe grooved rotors??

^Crapytire and partsource. They often have them on sale for buy one get the other half-price.

If you live near the QEW and 427 come by and see me at the CT there. I can help you get the rotors you need and prolly get you last sale price on the ATE's if they're not on sale right now. I'm off this weekend but I'll be there this afternoon till close and all day next tues.

**** i shoulda saw this post earlier dammit lol

but would the SIR's work?
or should i do the fronts civic and the rears SIR?

The rear rotors for the Integra and the Si-R are the same. In fact all 4 wheel disc Civic and Integra 93-00 are the same excluding 5 bolt Type R.

Ate is a great rotor however they are not made for the rear of this car only for the front

I have Ate in the front of my 99 EK and Wagner premium (AKA Monroe) in the rear.

As for EBC brakes; they are very high quality and you will not be disappointed. I strongly suggest the Yellows for a great street/track pad.

As for Power Slot. I hav not heard anything bad about them so if you can get them for a decent price then why not. Just remenber to tell them you have Civic front rotors not Integra front rotors.

And I agree with the above comment... stay away from cross-drilled rotors. With too much heat they will actually crack instead of cooling!!!

^I drive an 00' SiR and I have ATe rotors on all four corners. They do make them for the front and rear.

EBC makes a quality rotor. Their Ultimax series is great bang for the buck, and the GD series is pretty nice too, though more expensive.

The only problem I've had with EBC is getting all of the correct parts! I've been shipped 2 left-fitments. Or an Ultimax and a GD when I wanted just one or the other. As a result, I ordered PowerSlots for the Z, and they've been tremendous.

I also have the ATE's for all four corners of my Hatch, Si so it came with rear disks factory.I have only street driven my EH3 since I bought these and I can make pads last over 300,000km's on street so it's not like I'm hard on the brakes but they seem good so far.

Next year when I start back on my 1G CRX build, the motor swap, from the donor 88 teg means that I have to also transfer over the axles, which means hubs, and since I'm doing that might as well leave the hubs in the current knuckles as they fit and give me a bit of a bigger brake up front, as well as I'm swapping over the rear axle to give me a rear disk conversion along with the necessary hardware etc, so I'll be looking into EBC for that car as once it's up and running I plan to really only use that car for weekend warrior stuff, like the odd track day, or just to go for a spirited drive in the country.

I'm not 100% about if the SiR ones would fit the front, not without the possibility that the rotor or spindle are different, I would just go with what you know. You know the fronts are stock Civic and the rears are GSR, so get brakes for the front of a 95 Civic and rears for a GSR. I don't know what trim your civic is but I do know that the steelie rims from a CX/DX won't fit over the caliper of an Si, though the VX rims, also 13" will, it's that small of a difference but the point is there is a difference. Also at Crappy tire they list 2 sizes for the fronts on an Si, 240mm and 262mm (IIRC) When I bought my ATE's I was taking to the parts guy and he didn't say the numbers, he just said we list 2 sizes, you know if yours are the smaller or the bigger? Knowing the Si is a hair bigger then the base models, I of course said bigger. WRONG. Don't know why, perhaps because they don't list and SiR in the 92-95 Civic that was the car they meant the larger listing to be for , but just a heads up that again, there are a few different sizes and you need to get what you have in order for it to work with the calipers you have.
